BAKER'S BITS Happy New Year to everyone! May it be a year of peace in the tender em- brace of the Lord and with the maternal protection of Mary, the Mother of God and our Mother. On New Year's Day, the octave day of Christmas, the

Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Holy Mother of God. May this gentle and loving Mother obtain for us the Lord’s blessing upon the entire human family and may God grant us a blessed and fruitful year.
